a

These lists can be further ranked or sorted by several means, e.g., by predicted pathogenicity.

b

Mutation types include frameshifting indels, non-synonymous missense mutations, canonical splice site mutations, stop mutations.

c

The SNP chip based family linkage file can have a much larger impact than seen for these two families, depending on where recombinations occurred and how many participants with informative meioses are available.

d

The Kill file includes genes in the HLA region, very highly polymorphic genes such as the mucin genes, genes that code for the taste and olfactory receptors, and known pseudogenes with open coding regions.

e

Using the “not in db130 filter” needs to be done with caution because it contains pathogenic variants.

f

Includes AFG3L2.

g

For compound heterozygotes, the filter includes any combination of variants that follow a predicted Mendelian pattern. In practice, however, one of the two variants identified will be intronic, 3' UTR, etc. Therefore, one can look at only the genes with two “good” mutations. For example, in for UDP 0984, the list of 143 variants only represents 17 genes with two mutations of the type surveyed. One of those 17 was the responsible gene, GLB1.
